B/w print

Two remarkably clean and well dressed boys with steel capped boots, one carrying a pair of shears, the other a rolled up fleece, look with distrust at the camera. A shearer is seated with a ram on a trestle in front of him. On the floor is a small pail of Stockolm Tar in case of cuts to the sheep. Piled on the clean cobbles of the farm yard is a stack of fleeces. The whole scene is composed with a sense of order and calm.
